The blind won't admit that I have eyes in my head, and the deaf say that I'm dumb.

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

Sorrento, August. For two weeks now I haven't heard a German word or understood an Italian one. This way one can manage to live with people; everything goes like clockwork and no irksome misunderstanding can arise.

I master only the language of others. Mine does with me what it wants.

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

I have drawn from the well of ...

I have drawn from the well of language many a thought which I do not have and which I could not put into words.

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

Let language be the divining rod that finds the sources of thought.

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

Language is the only chimera whose illusory power is endless, the inexhaustibility which keeps life from being impoverished. Let men learn to serve language.

Who is going to cast out an error to which he has given birth and replace it with an adopted truth?

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

In a well-run mental household there ought to be a thorough cleaning at the threshold of consciousness a few times a year.

When I read, it is not acted literature; but what I write is written acting.

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

One must read all writers twice--the good as well as the bad. The one kind will be recognized; the other, unmasked.

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

My request that my writing be ...

My request that my writing be read twice has aroused great indignation. Unjustly so. After all, I do not ask that they be read once.

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

A good stylist should have narcissistic enjoyment as he works. He must be able to objectivize his work to such an extent that he catches himself feeling envious and has to jog his memory to find that he is himself the creator. In short, he must display that highest degree of objectivity which the world calls vanity.

Karl Kraus 344 quotes

A good writer does not receive...

A good writer does not receive anywhere near the number of poison-pen letters that is commonly assumed. Among a hundred jackassesthere are not ten who will admit to being jackasses, and at most one who will put it in writing.

In a hollow head there is much room for knowledge.

A philistine is habitually bored and looks for things that won't bore him. An artist finds things boring, but is never bored.

If by day art is in the service of business, the evenings are devoted to the businessman's enjoyment of it. That is asking a lot of art, but art and the businessman make it work.

There is a cultural taste which tries very hard to get rid of the lice in a fur coat. There is another which tolerates the lice and thinks the coat can be worn with them in it. And finally there is a taste which regards the lice as the most important thing about the coat and consequently places the coat at the lice's disposal.

It is not true that one cannot live without a woman. It is simply that one cannot have lived without one.
